Run ((street-O)) 48:55 [3] * 9.43 km (5:11 / km)
spiked:18/18c
Street-O at Camelot Rise. I've often run well here (one night in the summer of 1998, the gauntlet thrown down by a young Simon Goddard in the first couple of kilometres, was just about as fast as I've ever run anywhere), and was hoping to give it a crack tonight, but it was apparent in the first couple of controls that I wasn't quite ready to do so. Cruised round from there, not always comfortable but settled reasonably well by the last quarter. Think I made the most of the route choice, not that it really mattered.
The demographics here have changed in the last 20 years; the real estate board across the street from the start was in Chinese as well as English. (Coincidentally, the Age ran an article today about how would-be purchasers can identify houses with lousy feng shui so as to minimise the competition from Chinese buyers).
It was a bit disturbing to learn today that bushranging still happens in Victorian bush. These 21st century wannabes, however, were about as epically unsuccessful as Captain Melville, because the vehicle whose occupants they invited to stand and deliver in Canadian Forest turned out to be an unmarked police car. (Sharp-eyed observers will also have noted that the photos in the article were definitely not taken today).
